Switching from one boost method to another (generally, and assuming the same boost level) keeps a few things, such as:
1. intake manifold (probably)
2. ignition (but not the actual advance or curve)
3. oil system (except as needed for turbo supply/drain)
4. rods, pistons including CR (no, everyone doesn't agree)
5. crank
6. main caps
7. block
8. head bolts/stud quality

But a few things will definitely change:
1. cam duration, split, lobe height
2. head flow
3. in/ex flow bias
4. the entire exhaust system, including primary tube diameter
5. rocker in/ex bias
6. stall speed

There will also be differences between centrifugal (Vortech, Pro Charger) and positive (GMC, Kobelco, Autorotor, Sprintex), especially stall speed


With turbo:
cam? equal or less exhaust duration?
Head flow? Increase intake to match exhaust?
Exhaust? Hapel makes over 1000hp with 2.5" hot side and straight dump out of turbo
Flow bias?
Rockers? 1.6 intake/1.5 exhaust?
stall? Have to deal with what I got. NOS off line if need be. smile

How far off am I by guessing
